69C: Meaning of contracting in, contracting out, and subsequent contracting
or “This explains how work can be moved between different people or companies.”
You could also call this:

“A special type of boss who doesn't have to follow some rules about keeping workers when a business changes”

This part of the law used to have a section called ‘Exempt employer’. It was about how employment continues when a business changes hands. However, this section no longer exists. It was removed from the law on 6 May 2019. This means that the rules about exempt employers that were once here are no longer in effect.
